Going to concerts by yourself

nutboy

Im into a very specific type of hip hop music and thus do not have many friends into the same stuff as I. The only concert ive been to was an mfdoom/ghostface collab which was incredible but often times than not Ill see an act and laugh at the idea of inviting any of my friends along. Im this close to just going "f*ck it" and going on my own if I cant find people from now on. Any of you guys ever been to a concert alone? What was it like?

I went to one on my own, it was weird because you don't have anyone to enjoy or talk about it with after you leave but it was still great anyway, if you're passionate about the artist you have to weigh up your options and if it's the only chance you'll get to see them then you have to do it.

I f*cking love(d) gong to concerts by myself. You get to just be yourself, talk with and have fun with strangers. There are no ties and obligations to your friends - no having to meet at a certain time, no relying on set times on leaving(or other activities).

I met the lady who is now my wife at a concert. If I wasn't alone I may not have had the opportunity to steal her away from her friends..

I think the trick is to go see as much live music as you can. Sometimes with friends and sometimes by yourself. Two different experiences.

Out of curiosity, what was the gig?

And I wouldn't have a problem going on my own, as previously stated if you really love the artist then it shouldn't matter who you're with/where it is/how you get there etc.. All that matters is the music.

Holy hell, people know about them? I had no idea people outside of my state would listen to them, let alone people from across the pond didn't even know they toured all over... so very cool.

As far as the topic, there are some good points made in the thread already. Attempting to stay close to your friends in general admission can be quite a chore, you could want to try to get close to the stage and they could just want to chill on the side or vice-versa.

Atmosphere have gotten pretty popular since "When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That sh*t Gold".

That was the only time they came to Amsterdam that I know of (I immediately bought tickets, without having any idea on how to get there). They did this European Tour with the entire label.

Slug even came out to talk to us fans before the show, got my picture taken with him and talked about his opinion on downloading :

f*cking awesome night, never regretted going alone to there.

Haha awesome man. Do you like the album Seven's Travels? That's when I originally got into them, hearing it at college parties when I was a highschooler still ha. This is probably my favorite track from them though:

Anyhow, not to hijack anything... this thread should settle it! Go to the concert alone! Good times to be had and good people to meet.
